wrote a poem about my dad
posted a few days ago
entered into a contest
but not for any dough
since it was for Fathers' Day
it makes me extra proud
it won a place and will be read
to an online listening crowd
on a show tonight 10 pm
Late Night Poets is its name
it's just a little ego boost
won't bring me any fame
but I do hope my Daddy's listening
it's all about him, you know
even though he's not in this life
had to leave it long ago
hope he enjoys being
remembered in a special way
Hey, daddy, this is for you
Happy Fathers' Day!
